It. was june in the year nineteen hundred and fifty-three fl953l and the sun was reaching its peak on its journey across the radiant sky. I, Ruby Bishop, having been head nurse at Abbington Hosgtal for the past five gears, was making a last check upon the health of a patient y the name of A. I. illingsworth, a business man of great repute. He asked me to notify his confidential secretary that he would be capable of returning to his business the following day. Imagine my incredulity when I learned that his secretary's name was Dorothy Bard, who was my schoolmate in the class of '43. l phoned her in regard to her empIoyer's wishes and then arranged for a dinner date to renew old acquaintances. After a light lunch consisting chiefl of salads and vegetables, we began to wonder how the world was treating the rest ofyour former classmates. After much deliberation we decided to visit Madame Zablanco, a fortuneteller of note, whose place of business was not far from the restaurant. Seating ourselves in the incense-filled and rather dark room of Madame Zablanco, we questioned her as to whether she could help us with our roblem. ln reply she said in a weird and somewhat muted voice, Ah, zot I weel alla, eel you weel cross mine palm weeth seelver. We hastily agreed and she drew forth a crystal globe within which a light seemed to dance and glimmer. As Robert Caldwell was president of our class, he was the first one we thought of. As we gazed into the globe, a beautiful stone church, filled with people, slowly came into view. The preacher behind the pulpit seemed very familiar to us and after a closer scrutiny we recognized none other than Bob, dressed in a black flowing robe. He was earnestly delivering his message to his attentive congregation. As this scene faded out a new one appeared before our eyes. We saw a neat and cozy restaurant where the lights were low and we could hear in our imagination the soft strains of orchestral music, We could hardly believe our eyes to see Marian Barley as manager and sole owner. Viewing her immaculately dressed waitresses, we recognized them to be Fern Ament and Grace Gilbert. They were enjoying their work and were receiving many tips for their perfect services. Next to appear was the interior ol a large factory. There, in the maze of huge machinery, was the head mechanic, Paul Reitz. He was instructing his group of workers with the greatest of skill. Next we saw a girl with beautiful tresses taking the curlers out of a lady's hair. She was also showing her employees this particular process. Looking closer, we saw that the manager of this beauty salon was Bette Gilbert. Following this vision, we saw a hapgny, rosy-cheeked little girl. We followed her into the house, wondering who we wou see there. There was Gladys Blank, a suc- cessful farmer's wife, busily cooking supper in her neatly furnished kitchen. We imagined we could hear sweet music as the next scene appeared on the globe. Iennie Conoscenti was leading her all-girl accordion band. Close by was Ida Blocher, who was earnestly teaching her chorus a new number. Viewing the members of her chorus, we noticed Cora jean Kling, the chie1 soloist. Then we saw the hustling of nurses around a patient. The doctor. Iva Axe, had just performed a serious operation. Close by her side was Elizabeth Kling, who seemed to be lva's assistant nurse. The patient was recovering rapidly. As this scene faded out, we noticed Edna Burkhart in a large laboratory. Edna looked as if she needed sleep, but suddenly! her face brightened. At last she had discovered the cure for cancer, over which s e has spent many sleepless nights. Our next vision was in a large dining hall. To our surprise, the receptionist was none other than Edythe Denlinger. She was dressed in a beautiful black evening gown and her charming smile proved that she was capable of doing her work. One of the guests at this banquet was Rebecca Stoner, who was a social worker. She was pleasantly talking to the people around her and eagerly asking them questions. A large aircraft plant next appeared before our eyes. In one corner a man was welding and sparks were flying in all directions. When he took off his goggles, we found the welder to be Alfred Diller. ln another part of the plant a tal and very wise lookin engineer was busily checking machinery. It was none other than the genius, Duflleld arsh. ' We then saw an immense house in which lived a rich old lady. Her com anion prorveg to be a shy and sweet girl, Kathryn Beaner. Her mistress was well plleased wit er. Later, we saw Andrew Caldwell piloting a transcontinental airplane. The hostess, lean Hess, was ready to render aid and relief to the passengers. The pilot was get- ting ready to land in San Francisco. Iust before the ,plane landed, Andy signaled for his co-pilot, Betty Bare, to take over the controls. S e skillfully! brought the plane to a three- oint lan ing. Among the many passengers to get on t e plane was iola Getz, who llad just returned from a tour of the Asiatic countries. x This vision had almost vanished when there was pictured one of the better high schools in Houston, Texas. ln one classroom, Martha Denlinger was instructing her class in the fundamentals of Algebra. ln a large gymnasium, we fouhd Florence Wenger refereeing a basketball game. ln the modern five hundred thousand book library was presidin Matz Duing, the chief librarian. As we entered the sanitary looking health room, Helen autz, the school nurse, was deftly bandaging an injured arm. Our next scene was a double house on top of a hill with a very pleasin appear- ance. ln one side of the house lived a blonde, Elsie Hoover, who was gent? singing a lullab to her six-months-old twins. On the other side of the house live Mil red Kolb, whit was as plump and jolly as ever, waiting for her husband to come home rom wor . ' Suddenly appearing in front of us was Betty Thompson, who was finishing her decorating in the interior ol a beautiful room. As her hands moved back and forth, we noticed a sparkling diamond flashing on her left hand. The last thing we saw was a large newspaper office, in which Mary E. Brubaker was the journalist. She was enjoying her wor immensely. Feeling high elated that we had seen the life work of each of our classmates, we decided to draw the interview to a conclusion and we bade the fortune teller au revoir. Twenty-one
